I love every game from Devcats, but a free "... Full of Cats" title was not on my bingo card this year and I adored every hidden cat!

Thanks to the devs' commitment, this game is constantly evolving and becoming better with each update. If you like to get spooked, alone or with friends, Phasmo is a great pick. Many thanks to the initial dev and all the new devs that have allowed me to make such hilariously scary memories with my friends!

Extremely cozy and worth every cent. I had been looking forward to this game forever and I'm not mad about the length at all. It was a comfortable, relaxing experience with an insanely cute story.

I'm 70 or so days in and I have nothing but good feelings about this game. It's a comfortable game that is, yes, time-gated, but is also very much a casual pick up and play kind of game. I love how it plays kind of like Animal Crossing and looks kind of like Don't Starve, which is both comfy and slightly uncanny in a very pleasant way.

If you're someone who is looking for something cozy to spend 45 minutes to an hour in (I play it when I wake up almost every day to put myself in a positive headspace), then Cozy Grove is absolutely for you. It's adorable, full of heart, and very easy to play.

Edit: I've since completed several of the bears' stories and I can only stress that I love this game even more now.

There's just something insanely cathartic about hosing down all the dirt in our lives and watching it melt away. I knew I was going to love this game, I just wasn't sure how much. I look forward to the next job on the list just like I look forward to a nap or a quiet place to read.

What fractions?

First of all, I just want to say I lack any and all coordination when it comes to this game. I'm still having the most fun I've ever had just being eliminated before the final round. As for the game itself, it's like Takeshi's Castle meets Mario Party - there are both solo and team games. The team games are a little difficult, especially since you have to rely on beans you don't know to qualify for the next round. If I wasn't the "bad" bean, I'd actually consider that my only complaint. Pretty sure my favorite feature is hugging. I am absolutely on a mission to hug every bean.

As someone who thoroughly missed all the hype surrounding Pokemon because my parents weren't convinced it was a necessary experience, I'm enjoying all of what TemTem has to offer. It's a lot like Pokemon, or at least like what little of it I have played. It comes off as a bit more mature while retaining that child-like aesthetic. I highly recommend it, even in its current unfinished state.

Coloring Pixels is both a great way to pass the time and a perfect tool for relaxing. Sometimes, when I'm having a really awful day, I'll just open Coloring Pixels and let the calming music put me at ease while I work on one of the larger pixel art pages.

The base game comes with 3 "books" that contain 20 color-by-number pages of pixel art each. There are also 2 free community books that have been added over time as well as a 'Bonus' book with a very small handful of images for when the game reaches certain milestones. There are several DLC books that are 99 cents a piece to add a few more hours of content to the game when the free content has run out. Definitely affordable.

The devs listen to their reviews and customers, the DLC is affordable, and the music is incredibly relaxing. 10/10, I recommend Coloring Pixels for everyone.

For an early access game, Unrailed seems really well put together. It's pretty stressful, but I find that it's less stressful and more fun with friends. I can't wait to see what else is in store for this adorable little game.

Pros:
Adorable
Fun with friends!

Cons:
Sometimes it crashes on startup.
Kind of stressful
